When rev my motorcycle dies?
When a motorcycle idle is too low, there isn’t enough opening for the air and fuel to pass through when your engine is in action. With an unusually low idle your motorcycle is near its choke point wherein any command from the throttle could easily kill the rpm.
What makes my motorcycle cough?
There’s several things that can cause a cough out of a carburetor, but the most common is a lean condition. You can pull the plugs and compare them to get an idea if that is the case. If it is, on an older bike the first thing I’d do is to check for an intake manifold seal air leak.

What causes a motorcycle to have a rich condition?
Rich conditions can be created by people too but the condition is usually caused by: Installing a jet that is too large. Setting a float level that is too high. A Choke that is stuck or not turned off. A stuck float in the float bowl will allow fuel to overfill and then spill out the main jet into the venturi.
What are the symptoms of rich carb settings on a motorcycle?
Rich Reduced Power – It has less power but seems to be OK and runs. Reduced Fuel Mileage – Your using more fuel per cycle so your mileage becomes worse. Rough Idle – Combustion takes a just a bit longer with more fuel and at lower RPM’s the engine can idle rough.

What should I do if my motorcycle dies?
Once it dies, it will not restart right away unless I open the throttle quite a bit. Best results are had by just waiting a few minutes, and then trying it again. I’ve seen DOZENS of threads about this same problem all over the internet, but most of them end up unsolved (or just were never updated with the solution), so I’m not sure WTF to do.

Can a stuck petcock cause a motorcycle to hydrolock?
A stuck float with a standard petcock can create issues as the fuel will do what is stated above but when the bike is sitting. This fuel can also fill the cylinder and create hydrolock and destroy your engine when you start it. The piston cannot get to top dead center on the compression stroke and it bends your connecting rod. This is real.
What to do if you have a carb crack on your motorcycle?
As well, you smell a sharp odor from the exhaust as it is pulled through the motor and undergoes combustion. Don’t breath much of that in and use fans while doing this. If you don’t feel comfortable with carb cleaner you can use an oily thicker spray like WD40 that will clog the crack better temporarily and reduce the idle.
